Disability Data Initiative

The Disability Data Initiative (DDI) provides analyses of disability data to help advance the rights of persons with disabilities and sustainable human development for all.

PROBLEM: lack of availability and accessibility of
disability data in national censuses and household
surveys. Many organizations waste valuable time
and resources manually compiling and analyzing
data from various sources.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for persons
with disabilities is a scarcity of disaggregated data on
disability. This prevents the development of
appropriate and effective disability-inclusive
policy. The COVID-19 pandemic has
disproportionally affected persons with disabilities

SOLUTION: The solution is a comprehensive collection of excel files
containing results tables for various themes related to disability data
research.
Provides easily accessible data tables
Allows for efficient analysis and comparison
Enables quick reference for key findings

OUTCOMES:

  • To provide analyses of disability data to help advance the rights
    of persons with disabilities and sustainable human development
    for all
  • To review disability questions in national censuses and household
    surveys and disaggregate wellbeing indicators between people
    with and without functional difficulties in different countries
  • To monitor SDG
  • To improve the availability and accessibility of disability data for
    policy makers, researchers, advocates, and other stakeholders
